Sketch on folded side

3D Design Volume Model
1

Hi all

 

 

I made a sheet metal part, so far nothing bad.

Then I come to the folded side and I draw a sketch. I leave the sketch and when I do the development of the part, the previously drawn sketch does not appear on the folded side.

It remains attached to the initial plane of the folded face.

Would you know how to make my sketch visible on the developed side?

 

Thanks in advance

Hello

Check if your sketch is linked to the face and not linked to the plane that passes over the face

Hi Tom,

 

The sketch is well linked to the face

Hello

Is it possible to have the part file?

Hello

In the "Unfolded state" function, if the sketch is attached to one of the folds, there must be a "sketch transformation" folder and there it must appear but hidden: you just have to show it and make sure that the sketches are visible in the display!

Hello

 

Can you redo the part so that your sketch is on the fixed part of the sheet metal when flattening.

It doesn't solve the problem, but it gets around it. :)

Take a test

 

a slight extrusion of your sketch, see if it is visible when unfolded

 

or sketch on a projected surface, it is the surface that will be the support of your sketch

 

PS: as said @ SB sometimes you have to eat away

Thank you all for your answers.

The piece is folded in a true way.

Attached is this famous piece.

 

PS; I'm running on solidworks 2014

And what David be3 proposed doesn't work?

Post a screenshot we don't all run with the same version or the same log @+ ;-)

@ Sami

 

After several tests and trials

 

A slight extrusion does the job very well and follows the decellor of the part

Sketch transformation works great too :!!

I cut a lot of sheet metal parts with a laser, I have all kinds of things engraved on them and

it works every time!

Hi @ David Be3

This function works under all SW versions

I've been using it since 2012, I haven't tested under the 2014 yet (I let the first SPs pass to install it) but I guess they kept it! To be checked!

And you create your part directly in sheet metal without going through a volume body beforehand 

This is a habit that I have not yet taken into account in my designs and achievements

Directly in sheet metal, but both must work!

 

17

Have you tried via a solid?

It also works when the part starts from a solid GT22! cf in pj

@ David

after trying it at home it doesn't work

 

see attached file SW 2012

you can pass me your file there's something I don't understand

Oh that's because I take the "insert folds" function directly on my volume! Sketch transformation doesn't seem to work with the "convert to sheet metal" function! I put it back in !!
